Greetings from Melmond!

[Seiken]

Haha. Sorry about that Rika. I wasn't sure to list Omen as an NA LS or not since Bmui and Tako Ryu are Hong Kong and they are the "leaders" I think.

Sidenote Chibs, New order is a social currently, but in the coming months we are looking to actually go towards end game ls with a social aspect. I guess best of both worlds.

Oh good luck to you guys! You've got some good players in your ls Lucas.

Yea, Mercury seems to be simular to Omen. We have players from all over not just NA. Our leadership though are lead by En speaking NA's though and a guy from the Eu.

Ps: /em Cut's Lucas

Yeah, I can see why people might not consider us NA and really we aren't since we're international XD. The leadership in our ls is interesting because we have a lot of "leaders" but basically Bmui is the leader and I'm the NA/EU leader. In a way its kind of a joint operation >_>

Yeah, you guys do seem similar to us in some ways. In terms of percentage our leadership is mostly HK with a few EU and NA as well. But, the HK leaders have a grasp of English, some better than native speakers XD

Seiken pretty much explained it all

[DyskoFox]

Oh I almost forgot. What Grand company are a lot of people from in Figaro? I personally am in Gridania because well it's the best just sayin. But I know many are from Ul'dah then there are a few at LL. Is it spread out differently on your server? Also do people shout/search for gc caravans often? Do you have any gc linkshells?

Ps: Another reason Melmond is awesome is because we have Reinheart Valentine

If your curious as to why he is so awesome I shall let this photo explain it all.

...! We get a nifty server name and Mr. Subligar? Excellent.

As far as Grand Companies, I just did a search and found the following:

185 - Maelstrom
159 - Twin Adder
230+ - Flames

However, this is early morning PST on a Monday. I feel like the Gridania numbers are more in line with the others among NA players.

[Edit: Just checked again during NA primetime. The numbers at the moment are: 96 Flames, 102 Adder, 78 Maelstrom.]

I don't see many shouts for caravan. I can't say for sure how often the LL and Ul'dah ones happen since I don't pass through Skull Valley or Drybone as often as Treespeak. My LS has been regularly doing the Gridania one lately and never encounter another group at the same time. I've seen Japanese groups running it more often, but of course much later in the night. We've had a couple of people join in when we didn't have a full group on a few occasions, which was fun. Will be nice to have more activity out there!

I know that there's an LS for the Maelstrom caravan, but not certain about the other two.

Looking forward to the merge! You guys seem like a nice group.

[Rika_Lunalei]

<3 Reinheart. As for the Grand Companies, Like mentioned above, there's an LS for the Maelstrom and one for the Flames too, both created by Omen members XD. I'm not actually sure whether or not there's one for the Adders or not, or if there's more than one LS for the other two.

I see shouts for the Flames Caravans often enough, but rarely for the other two, That might be because I spend most of my time in Ul'dah though >_>. Most of the time we do Maelstrom caravans we form through the LS for it and tend to be the only group out there as well.

I can say that the Flames have the most members and that the other two seem about even, though the numbers above seem to indicate that Maelstrom might have a bit of an edge over the Adders.

Just wanted to chime in and say hello to everyone! Everyone seems nice so far, which is great! I'm the leader of Phoenix Order, and we're basically as Seiken described. A lot of our players are endgame, and we do endgame events regularly but we're pretty relaxed about it; though we do keep pace with the other endgame LSes. We just like to branch out and take in newer players as well and have that social aspect. We're also a late night PST shell, so we'll often be doing events at hours that are pretty ungodly to many people. Doesn't mean we're not friendly though. =)

I'd say 75% of PO are Adders, but that was a conscious choice in the LS. It kind of feels to me like the numbers are a little closer to even across the board like Elysia said, with a bit of a Flames bias if anything. I think that caravans just aren't a frequently done event in general, at least among the NA population, so there's a good chance that if you go out with a group you'll have the event to yourself at any given time.

One thing I'd like to mention is that it looks like everyone on Melmond gets along pretty well. That's really cool, because one thing I really like about Figaro is how well everyone gets along. There are some LSes with closer relationships than others like PO and Dancing Mad, but for the most part everyone is friendly and there's generally no real drama between LSes (that I know of at least). I hope we can keep it that way and we can all enjoy playing together. Looking forward to seeing all of the new faces. ^^
